Get to Know Our Team | Cindy Holloway

In this day and age, you are hard pressed to find individuals who have worked at a job for more than 10 years. But at Lewis & Sheron the longevity of their employees is inspiring! Today, we had the opportunity to sit down and talk with our Administrative Assistant, Cindy Holloway.

Let’s see what she had to say…

How long have you been with Lewis & Sheron?

It’s hard to believe, but I have been here for 21 ½ years now! Before my start at Lewis and Sheron, I sold fabric to Larry (the owner). When that company went under, Larry offered me a job and I have been here ever since.

Wow that’s an incredibly long time to stay with a job. What’s your favorite part about what you do?

It is never monotonous. Every day I find something new and exciting about the work I do, and I am not the type of person to back away from a challenge. Whether it is helping a customer find fabric or solving a customer problem on the phone, the gratification of completing a challenge is a great feeling!.

What has your favorite memory been with Lewis & Sheron?

The store has grown so much over the past 10 – 15 years. It is crazy to see how far we’ve come. I don’t have one specific memory that stands out but I did love the good old days when Larry was in the store often; mainly because it reminds me of my start with Lewis and Sheron.

What influences you to continue to work at Lewis & Sheron?

I stay because the Sherons; Larry, Bobbi and Sam are practically family to me. With Atlanta traffic, I usually drive an hour, round-trip, for work, but because they are so great and the store is one of my favorite places, I don’t mind it at all. Being a part of a workplace that has such a strong family atmosphere is hard to come by. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

What is your favorite fabric?

Blue ikats! I’ve always loved the color blue and I think you can do so much with ikats; it makes anything look great!

What is your favorite piece of furniture?

I would say the cream chair we showcase in the front of our furniture section. It has a retro look, but at the same time it is so modern, and the fabric is so comfortable!

Thank you Cindy for all the hard work you do! We love sharing your story and having you as a part of the Lewis & Sheron family!
